Definitions
- This invention relates generally to hand tools and more particularly to measuring and layout tools.
- Framing squares are also described in a number of patents. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 223,709 of Georgia a framing square including a ruler portion and an arm portion extending perpendicularly from an end of the ruler portion is taught. The ruler portion is provided with a number of slots. A similar tool is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,575,595 of Rienecker.
- a layout tool including a triangularly shaped member provided with a pair of slots, and an endpiece attached to one edge of the triangularly shaped member for engaging an edge of a work piece.
- the endpiece extends both above and below the surface of the triangularly shaped member such that the tool has a T shaped cross section.
- the tool is primarily used for marking lines along a plank in preparation for a rip cut.
- An object of this invention is to provide a construction layout tool which can perform virtually any measurements necessary for construction.
- the invention includes a layout tool and a square adaptor.
- the layout tool includes an elongated, rectangular plate having a rectangular endpiece along a first transverse edge.
- the endpiece is substantially normal to the rectangular plate and has an upwardly extending portion and a downwardly extending portion.
- the square adaptor includes an attachment plate adapted to engage an upper surface of the rectangular plate of the layout tool, and a ruler assembly extending away from an edge of the attachment plate.
- the upwardly extending portion of the layout tool's endpiece is twice the height of the lower extension of the endpiece.
- the lower extension is exactly the thickness of a standard 2 ⁇ 4.
- the width of the plate and the endpiece of the layout tool is preferably exactly the transverse width of a standard 2 ⁇ 4.
- the rectangular plate is provided with center line markings, and an elongated, central slot aligned with the center line markings.
- the plate is also provided with a pair of slots on either side of the central slot, and a triangular opening having an apex aligned with the center line marks.
- the endpiece is also provided with an "M" shaped aperture and a pair of slots. Each of the apertures and slots on the device have a specific purpose.
- the square adaptor of the device includes an attachment plate, and a ruler assembly extending from one end of the attachment plate.
- the attachment plate is provided with a pair of slots through which fasteners can attach the attachment plate to an upper surface of the rectangular plate of layout tool.
- the square adaptor can be attached to the layout tool such that the ruler assembly is at substantially right angles to the longitudinal edges of the layout tool or it can be attached so that the ruler assembly is parallel to the longitudinal edges of the layout tool.
- An advantage of this invention is that a single tool can be used to replace a number of measuring tools.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a combination layout tool and square in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the layout tool shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is an end elevational view taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 2.
- FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the square adaptor shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 5 is a end view taken along line 5--5 of FIG. 4.
- FIG. 6 is a top plan view of the combination layout tool and square shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 7 is a top plan view of the combination tool with the square adaptor in an alternate position.
- FIGS. 8A-8Q show some of the ways that the layout tool and square can be used for construction purposes.
- a combination layout tool and square 10 includes a layout tool 12 and a square adaptor 14.
- layout tool 12 includes an elongated, rectangular plate 16, and a rectangular endpiece 18.
- Layout tool portion 12 has a center line C L and center line markings at 20, 22, and 24.
- Rectangular plate 16 is provided with an elongated, central slot 26 aligned with the center line markings 20, 22, and 24.
- Central slot 26 has a head portion 28 which is widened into a square, and a tail portion 30 which is widened into a notched square.
- plate 16 On either side of central slot 26, plate 16 is provided with a slot 32 and 34.
- a triangular aperture 36 having its apex aligned with the center line is provided near a front edge 38 of plate 16, and a semi-circular notch 40 is provided nearby.
- a measuring tape slot 42 is provided near tail portion 30 of the central slot, and a number of holes 44 are provided through the top of plate 16.
- endpiece 18 includes an upper portion 46 extending upwardly from plate 16, and a lower portion 48 extending downwardly from plate 16.
- the upper portion 46 is provided with a notched square aperture 50 and a pair of side slots 52 and 54.
- Both upper portions 46 and lower portions 48 are provided with a hole 56 near center line markings 22 and 24, respectively.
- plate 16 has ruler markings 58 proximate a first longitudinal edge 60, and a second set of ruled markings 62 proximate a second longitudinal edge 64.
- Rule markings 58 and 62 are preferably in 1/8 inch increments, as this is the maximum level of tolerance normally used for construction.
- Plate 16 is also provided with markings at 66 which are used for angled cuts, and markings at 68 which are used for cuttings rafters.
- the markings at 70 are used as a stair guage, and the markings at 72 are used for measuring studs.
- the markings on the other side of plate 16 are similar to the ones in the top plan view, except that the markings opposite those shown at 66 are designed for hip and valley rafters, and the markings opposite those at 68 are common side angles.
- the recess at J is receptive to a foundation bolt, and correctly positions the layout tool relative the bolt.
- FIGS. 2, 3, and 8A-8Q Virtually every edge and slot edge of plate 16 has a specific measurement purpose. Referring now primarily to FIGS. 2, 3, and 8A-8Q, the use of the layout tool of the present device will be discussed.
- the letters A-Z of FIGS. 2 and 3 correspond to the letters A'-Z' of FIGS. 8A-8Q.
- FIG. 8A an end view of a partition wall made with four 2 ⁇ 4's is shown. Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the separation between the two upright 2 ⁇ 4's is exactly equal to the distance between edges A and M of plate 16. Similarly, the partition of FIG. 8B can be quickly laid out because the distance C'-K' is equal to the distance between edges C and K of slots 32 and 34, respectively. Utilizing the same layout techniques, partition walls 8C, 8D, 8I, 8K, and 8M can be quickly laid out. Similarly, corner walls 8E, 8F, 8G, 8H, and 8J can be laid out.
- FIG. 8N it can be seen how quickly two side-by-side 2 ⁇ 4's can be laid out.
- edge "X" of aperture 50 the center of the 2 ⁇ 4's width can be quickly marked at 72, and by outlining the tool along edges A and M of the layout tool the marks A' and M' can be formed to show where the connecting studs between the two 2 ⁇ 4's should be placed.
- FIG. 8P two 2 ⁇ 4's are shown stacked vertically such that marks X', A', and M' can be drawn.
- layout tool 12 has eliminated the need for many individual measurements with a standard square, tape, or ruler.
- layout tool 12 can be used to measure angles by engaging a corner 72 of the tool with the edge of a 2 ⁇ 4 and by aligning the angled markings on the surface of the tool to the appropriate angle.
- markings are provided for angled cuts, hip and valley rafters, common rafters, and reversed side angles.
- square adaptor 14 includes an attachment plate 74, and a pivotable ruber assembly 76.
- Attachment plate 74 includes a flat, square portion 78 and an upwardly and downwardly extending endpiece 80.
- the attachment plate is provided with slots 82 and ruler markings 84 along one edge.
- Ruler assembly 76 includes an elongated arm 84 and a ruler 86 attached to the arm 84 by pivot pins 88.
- An endpiece 90 is removably attached to arm 84 by screws 92 so that ruler 86 can be attached to and removed from the arm 84.
- ruler 86 can pivot up and down so as to accommodate any surface irregularities in the work piece.
- square adator 14 can be attached to layout tool 12 such that ruler 86 is perpendicular to the longitudinal edges 60 and 64 of layout tool 12, or, as shown in FIG. 7, substantially a parallel extension of longitudinal edge 60.
- fasteners 92 are used to couple attachment plate 74 to square plate 16 of the layout tool to permit a limited degree of adjustment as suggessted by the broken lines in FIGS. 6 and 7.
- the present combination tool can be used as a square and/or as an extended ruler.
